Lu Ye bit his lips after saying the words.

Gu Yan quietly moved back, keeping a safe distance from the big bad wolf, Lu Ye. She then changed the subject. "You have to go to the competition tomorrow, right?"

"Mhm."

Gu Yan nodded. "Then, rest early. It's almost midnight."

"Okay, let's sleep earlier."

Gu Yan: "…"

You're just guarding me, Captain Lu!

Let's 'sleep early' would confuse other people!

'Is this really your first time dating!?'

He really knew how to flirt!

Still, Captain Lu didn't cross any boundaries after flirting. He just lay down on the simple bed meant for visitors and covered himself with the blanket.

Lu Ye was too tall. The 1.8-meter-long bed was like a miniature bed to him. His leg was hanging off.

Gu Yan wanted to say something, but she eventually fell silent.

'Gu Yan, you have to be more reserved!'

At this moment, the burn started to sting. Gu Yan wanted to summon the green light to ease the pain after Lu Ye fell asleep.

"Gu Yan, next time, you need to dodge such things, okay?" Lu Ye suddenly said.

His tone contained some genuine worry.

That was boiling water. Upon thinking about it, Lu Ye felt terrified.

The lights were off, and Gu Yan's expression became focused in the dark.

She actually had another choice than blocking the water with the bucket. That was, to quickly move away.

However, the scalding water would highly likely land on Shen Jiayi instead.

Furthermore, such a scenario would only allow Lin Xiaoyu to escape punishment.

Given the chance or rebirth, Gu Yan had a stronger resolve. She could afford to be crueler to herself.

Because, only when you can be cruel to yourself can you have an invisible pair of wings that make you indestructible.

During this time, Lu Ye's bass-like voice slipped into Gu Yan's ears.

"I know that this requires fast reflexes, and you already reacted accordingly fast this time, but… I don't want you to get hurt at all. It's my fault this time too. If I had found out about Lin Xiaoyu earlier and warned you, everything would have been fine. From now on, I will protect you better. Gu Yan, can you also try… to rely on me, alright?"

Lu Ye wasn't an idiot. He could tell Gu Yan was extremely stubborn.

After he put away that playful attitude and voracity, Lu Ye's voice ended up tender and gentle under the protection of the dark.

It was also more touching too.

Gu Yan could not help but scrunch her nose as her eyes felt an itching sensation.

After going through all the tragedies in her previous life, she didn't know who to rely on.

No one was naturally born strong. Life was tough, and in order to proceed, you had to cross through a path of thorns.

Perhaps because Gu Yan was silent for too long, she heard some rustling sounds.

A figure came over.

Gu Yan was stunned. "Lu Ye?!"

"I'm a bit scared," Captain Lu said.

Gu Yan was teary-eyed, but now, she suddenly didn't know how to react.

'Captain, you suddenly jumping on my bed is scaring me too!'
